Learn how to give even when you're gone

Legacy Giving enables one to make larger gifts to charitable organizations that one would not normally make with regular income. 

These gifts could include gifts of
stock, life insurance, real estate, personal property, or cash.  Estate and tax planning can provide for charities and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate, thereby benefitting both ALNC and the donor.

“Look into a young girl’s face as she picks out her very own new shoes.  Something she has never done.  See the wonder. How proud she will be the next day at school, ready to learn and achieve.  Or watch a young man, who has been through too much in his young life, see himself as a successful grown man, because he has been given a new suit for high school graduation...
